Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• The Rural Community Council of Northumberland has suggested to the Ministry of Transport that a permanent transport authority should be set up to look after rural transport needs.

The Council states that country transport services should be subsidized, but does not agree that 50 per cent grants from local authorities would be effective. It says that many local authorities could not afford to offer a subsidy, and this could still result in rural services being withdrawn.

The Council also says that travel concessions for aged and disabled people in country areas should be considered.
